Man. I wonder if we'll ever find out what really happened to him.

Otto Warmbier has died days after release from North Korea, hospital says

CINCINNATI -- Otto Warmbier has died, University of Cincinnati Medical Center announced Monday.

Warmbier died at 2:20 p.m. Monday, days after he was released from captivity in North Korea. He was surrounded by family members at the time of his death, hospital officials said.

In a statement released by the hospital, family members said Warmbier had been unable to speak, see or react to verbal commands since his return to Cincinnati June 13.

"He looked very uncomfortable – almost anguished," family members said. "Although we would never hear his voice again, within a day the countenance of his face changed – he was at peace. He was home and we believe he could sense that."

Family members thanked the hospital's staff for the care they provided Warmbier but said " the awful torturous mistreatment our son received at the hands of the North Koreans ensured that no other outcome was possible beyond the sad one we experienced today."

"It would be easy at a moment like this to focus on all that we lost – future time that won’t be spent with a warm, engaging, brilliant young man whose curiosity and enthusiasm for life knew no bounds," the family said. "But we choose to focus on the time we were given to be with this remarkable person. You can tell from the outpouring of emotion from the communities that he touched – Wyoming, Ohio and the University of Virginia to name just two – that the love for Otto went well beyond his immediate family."

Earlier, doctors treating Warmbier had said he suffered "severe neurological injury" and that he was in a state of "unresponsive wakefulness."

Now I feel bad for making fun of him when he was first captured. :(

We laugh, but I guarantee that's what the Norks are telling their people right now.

unless someone defects that was directly involved in it nobody will ever know, something I read this morning said that if he did have botulism and took a sleeping pill the combination could cause him to stop breathing, thus the oxygen deprivation that caused the brain damage. But the article also said there was zero chance he would ever get his brain back so it is prob a blessing he passed on.

He's clamoring for the war he "thought" Trump would create .. to salvage his own credibility. Like he had any to begin with.


Trump is punishing NK economically and forcing them to destroy their nuclear weapons. Hoof doesn't think any of that is a punishment or victory. Getting them to change their heart is the biggest and best victory possible.

I'm not sure if they ever did because I didn't see it published, but I wish the parents would at least acknowledge that it's probably not smart for 20 somethings to travel to a place like that. I just can't believe what he was thinking traveling there. I'm not sure if he did take the propaganda poster or not but there are certain parts of the world you don't travel to unless you're a trained professional. That's one of them.

He didn't deserve his fate, but he sure as $%^# should never have been there.

dumb choices can lead to bad things happening, this occurs every day and sometimes bad choices are lethal. NK is a shirt hole for sure and the leaders and people of power in the country are not good people but we have to deal with them to try and get a change, it is as simple as that

An American doesn't just book a flight into Pyongyang. He knew what he was doing.

He was in a study abroad program at UVA. Wasn't a backpack type of trip and UVA should have had better judgment to not go there.

UVA did not send him to North Korea. They are bad, but not that bad.

Yep. $200 under the table gets you some Chinese paperwork to enter DPRK. That would be funny if UVA had a study abroad program out of North Korea, though.

This is one of my favorite internet "gotcha's" of all time. Hoof claiming victory by thinking people on here like KJU and think North Korea is paradise because trump met with him. it's awesome logic.

If the same events of the last 72 hours had transpired and the president's name was Obama you all would be in full head explosion mode (and I probably wouldn't be posting). Don't deny it.

It speaks to the level of tribal bullshit that this board and the country as a whole have sunken to.
